Level 5, became near impossible after that.

Tricky and interesting little game. Good to see you're still dabbling in programming ;)

Lol, she's a tough'un!

Level 12 is my highest

Sometimes it's shocking how much fun or how compelling the simplest of games are!

Great job! 8D

Nice one, Dabs! Good trip down memory lane.

Used to type a bunch of these in myself. Hated the long lines of hex data statements so I would often twist a family member's arm to read them out to me. Worst ever was a sizeable game I never got to run!

Ah kids these days miss out on that sort of thing. The flickering alure of a mysterious command command line by cathode ray light upon boot... sure you just start off with the trusty load command to conjure Roland onto the screen, but they know you'll be back drawn by the manifold possibilities of Locomotive basic. The manuals in those days did a great job of getting you interested in the coding essentials!

You're showing your age, John. But you're not alone, I too remember those heady days of hex code, for me it was on my spectrum. Wonderful stuff, well until it crashes of course. Can't beat a bit of nostalgia....

Well, on the C=64 we ended up deliberately crashing it to get the OS to skip and only run our code, hahahaha.... yes, yes, we're all old. XD

Scary, isn't it! Still I reckon I have a couple of good years left in me! ;)
